📌 **What is Branding and Why is it Important?** ⁉️
When we think about shopping, we naturally analyze which product to buy and from which brand. Here, it’s evident that you’re judging the quality of the product. However, branding does not equate to quality. If you believe this, you might be mistaken. So, what is the truth?
**Branding = Connectedness;** in literary terms, branding means "Commodity with Identity." Here, the commodity is the product, and the identity is the recognition. Branding is about creating a unique name and identity for a product in the customer’s mind. In short, branding is the promise of quality and service to the customer.
